The planned vote comes days after Politico disclosed how leaders of Young Republican groups across the country exchanged messages that included racist and antisemitic comments, with some participants’ discourse including comments about raping their political enemies and placing them in gas chambers.... One state Republican official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the effort to disband the group, which was first reported by Newsday, would allow for a fresh start. By eliminating the group’s charter, the official said, Republican officials can reconstitute it and then bring in new leadership.
Good!

If your speech embarrasses or undermines your organization, then of course you respond to fix it.
These offensive texts are not acceptable to the mission of the GOP. Their competitors clearly have different standards.
This seems like a boomer thing. I doubt there are many folks under 40 who care that much.
"I doubt there are many folks under 40 who care that much."
They aren't, especially not when 99% of them are tech-savvy enough to know how easily something like this can be faked.
It would be interesting to see the internal message boards of the parallel Democrat organizations. Given the vile messages routinely posted publicly by Democrat-adjacent groups and individuals and even Democrat candidates that are rarely (and then only reluctantly) condemned by Democrat officials and candidates, it is hard to believe that those forums do not contain material equally or more offensive than that posted by these low-level Republican operatives. Without a comparison of equivalent forums, this looks like more civility bullshit to me. Where are the investigative reporters? The Republicans are right to clean house, but restoration of civility in American politics requires the same from the progressives.
your move Democrats…
’…but restoration of civility in American politics requires the same from the progressives.’
As appropriate as that would be, it would require the capacity for introspection and humility from the left. Ain’t gonna happen.
…the Democrats will be too busy shooting their guns in the air celebrating that there will be no more Young Republicans they won’t realize there will still be young Republicans…
Now, how about the Winnebago County Democratic Party?

“So, at that point I started going through the bracelets and found others that contained not-so-nice language, including 8647, which I’m sure you’ve heard that one before.”
Democrats have an assassination problem.
"rehajm said...

Why would the Democrats do anything differently now? The Republicans played defense and as a result lost this little interchange. Republicans got to get smarter.
The younger people I know are far more sensitive to offensive speech. Things that are not racist at all are called racist. They assume that older people are and always were racist. They believe that they're own generation were born pure and their generation doesn't have the old bigotry, which of course is bullshit and another form of bigotry.
Cries of "not good enough" soon to follow. The individuals certainly earned removal and banishment, but the fact is it's a one way street. This will only throw more blood in the water and establishment GOP types will continue to react just like the sniveling pussy's that they are.

They still support Jay Jones.
Comical how the Virginia Democrats thought they had scored a zinger by asking Winsome Sears and the other Republican guy to denounce the Young Republicans, and they immediately did so and replied "Your move." (Referring of course to the Dem AG candidate who wishes violent death on a Republican opponent for his own political advantage, as well as his toddler children, without having lost a single Democratic endorsement.)
So when do Progressives start getting rid of THEIR hate mongers??

Go to Bluesky or reddit and you will see a LOT worse. But THAT is okay with the hypocrites on the left.

What a ridiculous statement.
Diversity (e.g. racism, sexism, political congruence or "="), perhaps. But not DEIsm (i.e. institutional, systemic Diversity).

I also hate the Republican tendency to surrender, but as we have seen in the comments on this very blog, this was a weapon given to the Democrats to beat the Republicans with and deflect their own dirt. You have to take action or accept that both side are the same, which they are not, because the Left does not clean their house.
NYeT and Politico et al lack a sarcasm detector. They were laughing at Diversitists, including Nazis and other leftists, not with them. Republicans have other priorities.
When you own the WH and own the Popular vote, what's the point of acting like a snotty sorority.
GOP cucks buckling under pressure from the anti-American party of domestic terrorism because of of a couple of texts from a couple of Youths. Even Winsome-Sears brushed that shit off. Pathetic.
good.
Now disband REDDIT leftists - who become leftwing terrorist assassins.
waiting.
Most leftists are Pro-Choice religious, Diversitists (e.g. racist), politically congruent, true Blue, consistent with their principles. Bigotry is sanctimonious hypocrisy, which, at minimum, they are not.
So when do Progressives start getting rid of THEIR hate mongers??
They're not really in a position to be losing players from their team right now. It's pretty much down to the hate mongers at this point.

Republicans disband organizations that make racist statements even in private chats.
Democrats support public candidates who make public statements about killing their opponents and their opponent’s children.
Republicans are just better people than Democrats.
I will not be lectured to about civility after the years of vile crap piled on conservative by leftists. They have no standing, especially after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. They can go piss up a rope.

How do we know this wasn't a leftist false flag operation?
You have A VA candidate for AG - Jay Jones(D) who threatens death and wishes death - and is thrilled at the thought of Dead Republicans and their dead children - and he's still running. WTF?

The young people I know don't give a crap. They see the double standards on speech that have existed during their lifetimes and reject them.
Biggest example- if blacks can freely swing about the N word- why can't everyone else? Anyone got a rational answer to that that doesn't scream- DOUBLE STANDARD!?
Younger people I know use the word in their chats. People my age- 70- if the refer to it, use the N-word to refer to it, but never actually write it out or say it.

So the GOP blue noses are killing their seed corn again. Go look at what Blue Left says on their chats. Same shit just different hate objects. They don't call the Republicans the stupid party for no reason. So what if it makes the other side mad and offends them greatly? That's a plus as far as i'm concerned.
Nigerian? We used to laugh at those Black... uh, black... PoC scammers.
"A majority of democrats support killing their political opponents.

I think this is it. I don't know if it's half, but yeah, democrats can't afford to chastise their base.
Forget it. Asymmetry is still alive and well…
10% of young males are trolls who say stuff meant to be offensive to those stuck-ups in charge. All young males. Lose them again at your peril, if you're a political party.
That's what the republicans should say, not disown them.
"How do we know this wasn't a leftist false flag operation?"
We don't, but if it was it backfired. It handed the GOP an opportunity to be seen doing the right thing in this poisoned climate.

This seems like a natural for the Civility Bullshit tag.
GOP offers no candidate in the New York City mayoral race is between a Democrat Party nepotism scion who is a sexual predator directly responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of citizens and a communist Muslim who refuses to condemn Islamic terrorists. Meanwhile they are prepared to dismantle their main source of young voter outreach because some guys said I love Hitler in a text. It would be laughable if it weren't so dangerously weak and cowardly.
The fierce urgency of policing the stupid shit kids say in college.
I did Nazi see that coming.
Modern GOP slow waltzes with fascism; builds concentration camps, sends brown shirts to spread fear and disapear citizens, builds literal cult around authoritarian strongman, demonizes groups of Americans and targets them for persecution.
But good job disbanding the hitler youth.
If the Republican party wins over large numbers of Jews in New York, Democrats will be speechless and unhinged.
What will you socialists do if black people refuse to vote for Katie Porter?
Or if African-Americans notice the Mississippi miracle?
What if younger white voters decide that Democrats hate us? What if they start capitalizing White, out of equality and fairness?
What if Hispanics wonder why drag queens are reading to 6-year-olds instead of seniors in nursing homes?
DEI and identity politics is a shit-show. It's WarGames for Democrats.
"The only winning move is not to play."
I've never understood why professional Republicans wish to curry favor with people who hate them without apology. Our host may disagree, but this seems like civility bullshit.
" I know you are ,but what am I" He did this, well you did that. Are these adults talking or 5th graders up in here? Boring blame games by supposed "I know you are by what am I " people. C'MON MAN Vance said "you know how kids are" when trying to run interference on this, most of them were couple years younger than Vance One guy was 40 c'mon man. Call it what it is ,fix it and move on. Very fine people on both sides right? Beaucoup Dinky-Dau, con cai.
I love the movie PCU. It's so damn funny. The Republicans (led by the hilarious David Spade) are the official bad guys in the movie. But really that's just political cover. Because the fun-loving libertarians really want to revolt against the Marxist class.
It's still highly relevant!
Anyway, I approve of the triangulation, right out of Bill Clinton's playbook. Nuke the Sister Souljah teenage mafia and grab the middle in NYC. Because the adults who are paying attention will note that the Democrats are incapable of policing their own young people.
The right response, once it was out of the closet, would have been a reprimand, not to mimic Democratic cancel culture. Although, they could offer them a plea deal and promotion following progressive principles principles exercised with liberal license. There are Diverse precedents, including persons who have entertained abortive ideation, DEIsm, and taken affirmative action.
Instead of getting madley, why aren't the leftists suing campus Republicans for copyright infringement by copypasting every talking point from Hamas-controlled SJP and AAUP faculty lounges.
The biggest crime-they didn't write "from the river to the sea..."
The GOP just accepted the argument that because a few say or do stupid things, the whole thing is tainted. Meanwhile, Democrats continue to argue that it doesn’t matter if a few of them say or do deadly things, the GOP is the problem.
Golf clap.

Althouse celebrates the nuking of an organization dedicated to republican youths in New York because of some texts in a private chat group, but we never heard a peep from her about the murderous rhetoric and Assassination tchotchkes dispersed by the Democrat Party at the State Fair in her own hometown. Selective outrage is so very, very AWFL.
Reconstitute the organization as "Young Republicans Taking Jobs in the Private Sector Before Entering Politics."
"Republicans disband organizations that make racist statements even in private chats."
Oh bull! Republicans disband organizations that make racist statements even in private chats...WHEN THEY BECOME PUBLIC.
Both tribes are trash.
The GOP is the proud home of loser, incel, edgelord. Neat.
These are individuals between the ages of 18 and 40, who are Republicans from around the country, who aspire to have positions within the Republican Party or rise up through the Republican ranks. Politico got hold of a whole bunch of their text messages, in which they refer to black people as monkeys. They talk about putting their political opponents in the gas chambers.
They have a leader who is president, he goes to Beth Page, the Ryder Cup location, acts crazy. Now he's created license for everybody that shows up there to, I mean, they're throwing beer at their opponents wives. I mean, it's just sort of a bizarre thing to happen at a golf game. But this is the type of behavior that Trump gets away with. And so now he's empowered and emboldened these younger people to say things like this.
But notably, JD Vance, has said that critics of these texts should just grow up and that this is pearl-clutching.
This is where Vance is actually right. People do talk like this. There are racists in our society. There are people who are anti-Semitic, unfortunately, in this society and anti-gay and so on and so forth. But where the vice president is wrong on the pearl clutching, these are people that are going to be running your party in the next 10 or so years.
They're aspiring to grow and up through the Republican ranks. And they feel that this will do them, or at least they don't feel it will hurt them, this kind of language in this Republican party, I guess.
"The Republicans played defense and as a result lost this little interchange."
Absolutely right. They should have demanded context and rolled this back on the Donks. The YR's were clearly riffing on the insanity of the Donk rhetoric. The Democrats aren't the only party that desperately need generational change.
"The young people I know don't give a crap. They see the double standards on speech that have existed during their lifetimes and reject them.'
Also true in my experience. The Boomer game of "gotcha" is seen as obsolete and irrelevant in their eyes. A basic misunderstanding of how social media has cheapened and blunted the impact of any particular statement.

“In the wake of Young Republicans texting scandal, ‘white supremacist’ Nick Fuentes claims: ‘There’s groypers in every department’
Fuentes’s comments came after it was revealed that members of the Young Republicans were praising Hitler and threatening to torture opponents
Far-right activist Nick Fuentes has claimed that his supporters, known as “groypers,” are now “in every department” of the US government.
Fuentes, described as a “white nationalist” in court documents, commented just days after it was revealed that members of Young Republicans groups across the country had been sharing explicitly racist messages on Telegram.
Speaking on Tuesday’s episode of his podcast, America First, Fuentes claimed that he even has supporters at America’s most prestigious universities
“But groypers are all over the government, and everyone knows that,” he bragged. “There's groypers at Harvard; there's groypers in all the Ivy League schools. I talked to all of them.
“There's groypers in government, there's groypers in every department, every agency, OK?”
However, despite his alleged popularity across the country, he urged his fans to never put their support for him in writing.
“But if you are in the Young Republicans, and I'm speaking to you, if you're in College Republicans, if you are in the administration, if you're in a high position, you can't be putting this in writing. You can't,” he said.“
You know how everyone hates the blue haired nose piercing lefties? Everyone ALSO hates the derpy rightwing Nazi cosplayers.

A Danish babe in college taught me it was any noun in the common gender (a merge of both masculine and feminine genders. T-words belong to the neuter gender.)
Blue haired nose piercer > hitler youth
“Meanwhile, Fuentes has continued to urge supporters with similar views to remain covert.
“You're not hiding your power level if you're in a group chat with hundreds of people saying we're going to put people in gas chambers. OK, guys?,” he said on America First.
“Now I know it's funny, and I joke around like that on my show, and I'm very cavalier about it, and maybe I'm setting a bad example.”
The far-right influencer became infamous after he first launched his podcast in 2017 and continued to grow his fanbase when he clashed with the late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.”

Nor will you, Michael Fitzgerald, because the double standard is so strong in her that I cannot help but wonder what we would have found if today’s technology was around back when she was a fine arts student at Michigan back in the 1970s. Pardon me, but I have my suspicions.
Hat tip to Althouse commentator Birches for finding the context of the “I love Hitler [smiley emoji”] text. The author was trying to round up votes with the leader of another Young Republican club, and he was advised that that club’s votes would go to “the most conservative” candidate. The “I love Hitler” text was in response, and was obviously meant facetiously. But while Althouse can laugh at the edgy extremist “humor” of Kathy Griffin, it is forbidden in her world for young Republicans to display edgy humor.
I agree with it - but for different reasons. The NY Republicans are losers. Just like the New England Republicans. If you're young and conservative stop wasting your time with losers. Start a 3rd party. You many not accomplish much, but you're not going to accomplish anything in the NY republican party either.
You'll notice the Leftist don't attack NY Republicans or New England Republicans. that's because they're loser. Harmless lap dogs of the Left. Who agree with them on everything except helping business and cutting taxes.
Trump and MAGA gave Conservatives in these places somewhere to go, but the actual establishment Republicans haven't changed one bit. they're still the supporters of Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, and Christie todd Whitman.
BTW, I see that MD Governor Larry Hogan has more or less disappeared. After telling us that MAGA was a dead end and that his "Moderate Republicanism" was the path to victory, he ran for MD Senate - and lost. He only got 43 percent of the vote. Sununu has refused to run for the Senate, because he knows he'll lose.
"By eliminating the group’s charter, the official said, Republican officials can reconstitute it and then bring in new leadership."

Defending lard assed backstabbing soy boys is a great way to win hearts and mines.
I haven't seen all these Progessives so excited in a long time, maybe since Obama gave his acceptance speech. Geez, they're desperate to fan up a teapot crisis into a conflagration. Why not try putting out a few, on your side? Then it might not look quite so bad. You know - like candidates running for actual office, real power and authority, advertising their blood lust for children of their opponents - in public. Heck, things are so toxic on your side that even the other candidates running for high office positions are scared to condemn them on the record.
"Geez, they're desperate to fan up a teapot crisis into a conflagration."
Conflagration is the only 'storm in a teacup' they've got left in their caddy. Their crises mountains are made from desperation molehills.
Reprimand, don't cancel unless Diversity (i.e. class-disordered ideologies) and entertaining human rites progress with affirmative action. Privacy is not a shield for [hate] speech or affirmative action with DEIst motivation. Right? #HateLovesAbortion
Defending lard assed backstabbing soy boys is a great way to win hearts and mines.
…I can’t make anything of this typo, though it looks like fertile soil…😐
So some nobody is running for some office in a college chapter of the Young Republicans, and is informed by a pal that the most conservative candidate will likely win. He replies "Well then, I love Hitler!" It's an obvious sardonic joke by a college puke, and it is practically certain that he does not, in fact, love Hitler. Result: Everyone in the chat is dismissed from the YR, following heavy criticism from countless Republicans, and the organization itself is disbanded in some locales. None of them will ever work in politics, and many will have trouble finding jobs. Some might even be expelled from college. The Republican candidate for governor of Virginia flatly disavows and denounces them without any qualification or hesitation.
On the other hand: A Democrat lawyer in his 40's running for Attorney General of a major state expresses a wish to assassinate one of his political opponents, and when offered a chance to walk it back, doubles down and further wishes that the man's toddler children might die in their mother's arms, so that his party might make political gains by their deaths. The Democratic party establishment keeps him as their candidate, and the many high profile Democrats who endorsed him uniformly stand by him and support him. When offered a chance to criticize him, the Democrat candidate for governor of Virginia does no such thing, but stands mute like a deer in the headlights.
We are not the same people. Democrats show by their words and actions that they are the party of violence and hate and lust for power at any cost. They are irredeemably, ontologically evil and cannot ever be trusted with power. They are America's most wicked and dangerous enemies.
It will be enlightening to keep a tally of how many minutes and column inches of coverage the national news media devotes to these two stories over the coming weeks. I'll bet my next mortgage payment that the ratio will be on the order of 50:1, if the Democrat is even mentioned at all.
I'm reminded of the jokes my dad and his fighter squadron comrades used to say to each other when they were scrambling to their planes to go into mortal combat with actual Nazis. Much of the back-and-forth was lewd promises to properly care for their friends' wives and girlfriends should they be shot down. But it was also plenty of stuff like "Heil Hitler, in case we lose!" There has to be a place in the world for this kind of banter among young men working towards a common goal and at ease with each other in private.
We are not the same people.
Evergreen.
So when do Progressives start getting rid of THEIR hate mongers??
Hah. Good one.
If you wish to insult your fellow citizens on the basis of their skin color, it is your right to be a fool. It is also the right of a party that would like the votes of those citizens to prevent you from having influence in the party.
Jasmine Crockett laughs. AOC laughs. Joe Biden laughs. And the beat goes on..............
@RideSpaceMountain claims these texts were faked. Is that so? Peter Giunta, the 34-year-old chief of staff to a GOP New York State Assemblyman, was reported to have texted, “I love Hitler.” In response, his boss fired him. Mr. Giunta hasn’t claimed the reported text was a fake. He hasn’t said his firing was unjustified. So where did this “fake text” claim come from? From RSM’s imagination ? Or is he just pushing a talking point from Groyper Central?
Diversity, Equivocation, and Indifference (DEI), including systemic, institutional racism and other class-disordered ideologies, is a clear and progressive condition in liberal culture. Only a minority of cultural acolytes with benefits, "benefits", are fooled or otherwise green.
Hitler is beloved for coming out and exposing social liberal club, including: Diversity, political congruence ("="), redistributive change, abortive ideation, affirmative action, Dreams of Herr Mengele, and other wicked solutions.
I have two general points.
First, there seems to be some confusion here about the ages of the offenders. They weren’t college kids. They apparently ranged in age from 24-40. Old enough to vote, drink, smoke, drive, hunt, get married, do all the things that adults do. They don’t benefit from the “kids will be kids” defense.
Two, it seems that in certain far right circles, in order to impress the others with your loyalty to group, you have to make ever more taboo and edgy comments. You could say that they engage in “vice signaling” instead of the “virtue signaling” that happens in leftist groups. In each case the purpose is the same: to show loyalty to the group, to gain status in the group, and to undermine competitors in the group.
This is obviously "Civility Bullshit."

Sure thats legit
Yeah, tell everyone that Republicans are just as "Woke" and just as anti-white as the Democrats. Maybe hightlight the way the Covington Kids were treated by many Republicans. Or maybe bring up the Hysterical reaction to J6. Make Ben Shapiro your spokesman.
What young person can resist that!
@RSM I admire your capacity for ad hominem attack but am still waiting for you to rebut the facts I listed.
"Is it so?
Your question was answered. Maybe you should get better at asking them.
Leftists are obsessed with Fuentes.
Jay James, resign your candidacy and never darken political life again.
Or is he just pushing a talking point from Groyper Central?
Much like qanon or the boogaloo boys, why does the left know far, far more about these fringe groups than those of us who are supposedly taking their marching orders?
Are you that desperate?
@Jim Huh. So you think I’m a leftist? Is that how it works? Anyone who dares to criticize the shock troops of the far right is a leftist?
Let’s get down into the weeds. Do you agree with the decision of Peter Giunta’s boss, NY State Assemblyman Michael Reilly, to fire Giunta from his job as Reilly’s Chief of Staff for texting, “I love Hitler?” If you do, then we are on the same page. If you think Reilly did something wrong, let’s hear why you think it’s ok for aides to Republican politicians to praise Hitler.
@Peachy Why do conservatives care about Fuentes? Because President Trump had dinner with him. Have you had dinner with President Trump? No? That’s why no one cares what you say. So conservatives who are opposed to the Jew hatred and race baiting that Fuentes peddles are understandably alarmed.
